    Hello,

    All the English words ending with a lonely y have a tendency to behave that way: y becomes ie
    a baby, 2 babies.
    a fly, 2 flies.
    a hobby, 2 hobbies.

    to cry: she often cries.
    to try: He tries to improve, he tried to understand.
    to carry: He usually carries her bag and he carried her bag yesterday.

    but if a word ends in ay, ey, oy, uy, then the y stays:
    a bay, 2 bays.
    a volley, 2 volleys.
    a boy, 2 boys.
    a guy, 2 guys.
    to play: she plays, she played.
